What’s Being Done To Detect Water Leaks?
As we all know, water is one of the most precious resources that we have, but it’s all too easy for us to take it for granted, particularly in developed countries where we simply turn on a tap and out it comes. But access to water is coming increasingly under threat around the world, thanks to climate change, urbanisation, population growth, pollution and water mismanagement, and ...

Monitoring Volcanoes for CO2 Emissions
Monitoring volcanoes allows us to fully understand the behaviour of the volcano. With there being approximately 1,500 active volcanoes across the globe, they have caused thousands of fatalities and destroyed millions of buildings. These devastating effects are caused by the deadly ash falls, mudflows, and pyroclastic flows that accompany eruptions. Many of these volcanoes are in close proximity ...

Geotechnical Borehole Logging and Software
Geotechnical Borehole Logging Geotechnical borehole logging involves the use of boreholes to perform investigations on materials from deep underground for geotechnical designs. The approach is applied for obtaining information on ground movements, groundwater levels, material strengths, permeability, and pore pressures. Geotechnical borehole logging is a cost-effective and time-saving technique. ...

INSITU ACQUISITION OF GRINDING PARAMETERS
FRITSCH'S PLANETARY MONO MILL PULVERISETTE 6 CLASSIC LINE In the laboratory sector planetary ball mills are usually utilised to reduce the size of a broad range of samples in batches at high energy. The milling principle of planetary ball mills is based on the movement of grinding bowls securely fastened to the mill whereby the bowls are filled with grinding elements and the sample to be ground. ...

Semi-electric stacker truck
Semi-electric stacker trucks are widely used in ground cargo, pallet movement, stacking and short distance transportation. In many places, such as factories, warehouses, logistics centers, it is safe and efficient to use all-electric stacking trucks to stack and transport pallets. Especially in some narrow corridors, elevators, assembly lines and other workplaces, it can fully reflect its ...

Migration Pathways
Migration pathways include pore spaces (e.g. in sands or gravels), fractures, joints, bedding planes and fault lines. Anthropogenic influences can increase permeability, for example, by activities such as mine grouting, air blast rotary drilling, blasting and mining. All of these can have potentially catastrophic effects on pathways and ground gas movements. In addition, anthropogenic ...

Protective coatings for underground utility concrete structures
As our cities and municipalities grow older, the utility and wastewater infrastructure and corrosion preventive program for underground asset protection are aging with them. Municipalities and Utility Companies are struggling to handle rehabilitation measures and effective corrosion prevention programs to deal with prolonging the life of their buried assets. More municipalities are in the process ...

Legacy tracking methods can sometimes result in false positives
Over the past decade, there have been several major pipeline failures that have had significant environmental impact. The high consequence of a rupture failure makes these pipelines some of the most regulated assets in the world. To reduce risk on these pipelines, operators use inline inspection (ILI) pigs for multiple functions, such as cleaning or assessing the condition of a pipeline, or to ...

GPS–based slope monitoring systems and their applications in transition mining from open–pit to underground
Combining methods of open–pit and underground mining can yield maximum economic outcomes, while they may also cause large–scaled geological hazards, such as landslides. Failure to prevent landslides in mining areas could result in losses and damages to equipment, surrounding environments, and even human lives. In this paper, we report the application of global positioning system (GPS) for ...

Identification of source of heavy metal contamination in a site - a case study
Accidental spills and improper disposal of industrial effluent/sludge containing heavy metals onto the open land or into subsurface result in soil and water contamination. Detailed investigations are carried out to identify the source of contamination of heavy metals in an industrial suburb near Bangalore in India. Detailed investigation of ground water and subsurface soil analysis for various ...

Restructuring of a civic authority responsible for environmental issues
This research focused on the restructuring of a French local authority in charge of environmental management in a territory confronted with five major natural hazards: floods, forests fires, earthquakes, avalanches and ground movement. A recent analysis of developments in both public and private sectors has indicated the emergence of post-bureaucratic organisations. How do public organisations ...

Health, Safety and Environmental Risks of Underground Co2 Storage – Overview of Mechanisms and Current
CO2 capture and storage (CCS) in geological reservoirs may be part of a strategy to reduce global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Insight in the risks associated with underground CO2 storage is needed to ensure that it can be applied as safe and effective greenhouse mitigation option. This paper aims to give an overview of the current (gaps in) knowledge of risks associated with underground CO2 ...

Properties and Behavior of Halogenated VOCs
An important consideration when evaluating a remedy is whether the compound is halogenated or nonhalogenated. A halogenated compound is one onto which a halogen (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) has been attached. The nature of the halogen bond and the halogen itself can significantly affect performance of a technology or require more extensive treatment than for nonhalogenated ...

Properties and Behavior of Nonhalogenated VOC`s
An important consideration when evaluating a remedy is whether the compound is nonhalogenated or halogenated. A nonhalogenated compound is one which does not have a halogen (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) attached to it. The vendor of the technology being evaluated must be informed whether the compounds to be treated are nonhalogenated or halogenated. In most instances, the vendor ...

Development of a Combination Inclinometer-Deflectometer and ADAAS
A newly developed transverse deformation gage, called the combination inclinometer-deflectometer, and special features of its automated data acquisition and analysis system (ADAAS) are described. The hybrid, two-in-one instrument and the ADAAS contribute to the enhancement of accuracy, reliability, and precision of ground movement ...
